Twitter 101: Tips and Tricks

by Terrence O'Brien on March 26, 2009 at 01:59 PM


Is my Twitter profile as important as my Facebook or MySpace profile?

While Facebook and MySpace are filled with various ways to post information, pictures, and annoying applications, Twitter is a more controlled environment -- just a name, location, Web site link, 160-character bio, and a picture. Therefore, it's all about what you say in that 160-character space, especially since people are more likely to read your whole Twitter profile than they are the hard-to-wade-through, gargantuan tomes that end up on a typical Facebook or MySpace profile. In other words, yes, your Twitter profile can get you fired, so watch what you say here (and in your tweets, for that matter).
